Is there anyway of re-enabling FREEBSD_COMPAT? Even though I have FreeBSD on the Sunblade now, I have another disk and another machine I can run OpenBSD on. The compat would be a nice feature if it is available for the sparc64.

What do you use that requires FREEBSD_COMPAT? FreeBSD emulator in the ports is very old, based on FreeBSD 4.11's libs.

Well, that would break use of the Flash plugin with Opera, acroread, and building the older JDKs for the browser plugin, so I guess not everybody agrees.

All of these are very outdated and OpenBSD developers seem not wanting to continue supporting Linux emulation because it requires a lot of work to run on OpenBSD. Linux emulation in the ports hasn't been updated for a while.

I think someone's working on adding icedtea to OpenBSD so there would be a JRE plugin for browsers. I do not know if there is any progress.

When icedtea works, great, but there still exists a meaningful requirement for a java plugin, at least if you intend to do online banking.
